TRANSFER-BOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,715, dated January 25, 1887.

Application filed March 22, 1586. Serial No. 196,145. (Xo model.)

To @ZZ wwn t may' concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN B. HU'roniNsoN, of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and Stat-e of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Transfer-Books, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in an improvement in transfer-books, hereinafter fully described.

The drawings are both perspectives, show 1e ing two of the many styles of covers which may be used.

A represents a cover of any desired style. As shown in Figure l, itis flexible in the een ter, and the leaves are secured to one end by a band, G, which may be elastic, As shown in Fig. 2, the leaves are boundin the cover in the ordinary hook form.

F represents a block of leaves, two of which, B C, are shown raised. The bleek consists of zo a leaf, B, of any paper suitable to be written ou with a pencil, then one or more leaves of waxed thin paper, C, then another leaf B, then more waxed paper, and so on until a block of the desired size is formed. The leaves may be of any shape and size, and the leaves B, or all the leaves, if desired, may he perforated, as shown by the dotted line H, to facilitate tearing them off from the bloelr. If preferred, no cover need be used, and the bloei; can be 3o made in the manner ordinarily employed for putting,` up letter-heads.

The leaves B may be printed blanks, as ineated in the drawings, or plain. If more than one copy is desired, additional waxed sheets are interleaved.

Vhen a leaf, B, is written uponwith a penvof execution, and which is dirty and soon wears out.

To obviate the danger of transferring the writing down through more than the desired number of waxed leaves, I usually employ an independent sheet, D, of blotting-paper, eerdboard, or suitable heavy paper, which I fasten either to the block or to the cover by a lexi- 5o ble Connection, E-sueh as a strip of elothand to use the bleek I raise one leaf B and the underlying waxed leaf or leaves C, lay the leaf D on the next leaf, B, then lay the raised leaves on leaf D, and write on the upper leaf B. TWhen a oever like that shown in Fig. l is used, the free end ofthe cover may be used for leaf D, and it is evident that the leaf D may he entirely independent of the block, as securing the same thereto is a mere matter of 6o convenience.

What I Claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a transferbook Composed of leaves of writing-paper interleaved with waxed paper, substantially as shown and described.
